Abstract

Ayurveda is ancient science which deals with the overall health of the human being. In Ayurveda, Sharir Rachana, deals with the structures present in human body like asthi, sandhi, panchendriyas, Twacha, kala etc. Sharir Rachana helps in the understanding of disease as it gives the explanation about each and every component of the diseased organ or any body part. Acharya Sushruta while explaining the Adhyaya Garbhavyakaran Sharir of Sharir sthana has mentioned the concepts of Sapta Kala. Acharaya Susruta has explained Sapta kala in body. Kala is described as a limiting membrane or layers which are situated between Dhatu and Aashaya. Kala comprises of extremely minute particles which are invisible to naked eye, similar to cell. In our body, organs are covered by many layers of membranes which helps in the separation of organ along with each cell in organ, these membranes can be understood as Kala.
